Luxor Buys $100mn MicroBT Rigs, Deepens Hardware Ties

The agreement expands LuxOS firmware support to MicroBT’s WhatsMiner series, enabling efficiency gains for users. MicroBT, via its investment manager Inflection Technology, signed a term sheet for an investment in Luxor. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
MicroBT stands as one of the top global producers of Bitcoin mining equipment. The sector has consolidated sharply from its early fragmented days of small assemblers into dominance by a few players, led by Bitmain, followed by MicroBT and Canaan.
Luxor plans to deploy the new hardware across its mining pool, which commands 3.4% of global Bitcoin network hashrate – roughly 38 EH/s in a network hovering near 950–1,000 EH/s. The company announced the moves on 26 Apr.
Mining pools aggregate hashrate from thousands of participants, delivering more frequent and stable rewards than solo mining. At this scale, Luxor offers members competitive payout consistency in an environment where network difficulty remains elevated following recent adjustments.
